Houston at Kansas City

Carlos Hernandez has been one of the few bright spots in Kansas City's season, and the Royals have won three of his last four starts as he has allowed only two runs on 11 hits in 17 2/3 innings his last three outings. Hernandez began the season as a reliever, he has an opponent batting average of .223 in 17 games overall, and the Astros will be facing him for the first time. Jake Odorizzi has a 5.11 ERA on the road and gave up seven runs (six earned) in three innings his last road start against the Dodgers. Kansas City is getting great value in the underdog role as its hitters are batting .348 with an .841 OPS versus Odorizzi in 95 at-bats. Take advantage and play the Royals.
